lowing motions were carried :—" That no deduction from the 60 per cent, majority for local or nations] prohibition should be
entertained by Parliament without first k showing what new form of taxation shall
be imposed on the people to make up the
f~ Joss of £500,000 of Government Tevenne; % .that the prohibition party is not justified | -in asking for a bare majority, as the votes *«f those for national prohibition at last '£ Section totalled only 44 per cent, of the -electors on the roll, and that this - minority should not be able to control 56 10 per cent, of electors as well as those not I m the roll."
